DGP Singh reported that Assam’s conviction rate has risen from 13.5 percent in 2022 to an impressive 21.84 percent by July 2024. This improvement is attributed to ongoing judicial reforms and the state’s concerted efforts to enhance the effectiveness of criminal investigations.

The increase in conviction rates is a testament to our commitment to strengthening judicial efficiency and ensuring justice for all. Our efforts are continuous, aiming to further improve these metrics and maintain public trust in the system,” said GP Singh.
